Good Points

Games are fun when waiting for a bus stop, meeting, during breaks between classes.

You name it you got it. "Stuff" for your iPod is never ending.

Extra luxury, some people say "Oh you spend way to much", well it's like this, why do people buy Audi, Jaguar or BMW? All cars can go the speed limit and even over so why not go buy a junker that can carry you at the speed limit? Everyone likes luxury, the iPod is pure luxury plus in my eyes it's a step above the rest.

Bad Points

Battery life is low for a lot of people but personally it's perfect.

Only other complaint that you NEED!! A case if you don't want it getting scratched because it scratches easily.

General Comments

My first Apple iPod, wow what an experience. Perfectly packaged box, as a matter of fact one of the funnest parts was unpacking my iPod, perfectly then once you hold its gleeming whiteness in your hand with its perfect weight you immediately fall in love with it.

I take it everywhere I go, its my dream, my extra money goes into extras for my iPod, with a mac OsX it is so easy literally anyone could do it, I finish opening my iPod on christmas day charge it to its designated 80% battery life, then go downstairs and plug it in using via firewire connecting. It immediately loads up to my iPod and opens iTunes for me, it loads my 17gig's of music up, then I'm set and ready to go!

When I got the rest of the family out of the house I thought I'd test sound of the Ipod and I wasn't disappointed. I blasted my excellent sound quality up to U2's Vertigo (my favourite song at the time) and went dancing all over the house to it... Jumping air guitar the whole package... PURE HEAVEN...

I play soccer for a very good team, and I am a good player myself, I use my music to pump me up before the games and I tell you it works. I just have the feeling to go and do my best out there. The iPod is possibly the best present I have ever gotten.
IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE GET ONE THEY ROCK!!
Now becoming more affordable at $189.00 Canadian for the super small iPod Shuffle.

Thanks for your time I hope you enjoyed my article.
